Hi,
It should definitely be possible as python & pygtk are included with YDL. (Assuming someone can get xmame or whatever running on the PS3).

I'll definitely give it a shot when I FINALLY get my hands on a PS3. I want the PS3 to be my all-purpose game machine, playing PS1, PS2, PS3, MAME, NES, SNES, and Genesis games. I've already seen NES and MAME games running on the PS3. Hopefully there's decent emulators out there for SNES and Genesis games under Linux. Is it possible to navigate Wah!Cade with a game controller or is it keyboard only?
Also, any plans of releasing a version for Mac OS X?

Hi,
At the moment Wah!Cade is keyboard or mouse only. I'm thinking about adding joystick support at some point, but not sure when though ;) (there is always the joy2key / qjoypad utilities, although I've not tried either or them yet.)
AFAIK it will already run on the MacOS (once the necessary python and pygtk related packages are installed - see http://www.anti-particle.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8)
Cheers,
Andy

What about KnopiXMAME I think its called, and AdvaceCD, those are linux live CD's that boot right into a front end.

I think the distro of having arcade software on Linux, sounds really interesting to try out IMHO. This may be stupid but it would be great to have the Win32 port of GENS for Linux (WIP) :p. I'm kinda a newbie to arcadecontrols, but interested in this sort of stuff :].
